Also, we, or at least I, don't know the conditions under which the Nitto racks in question failed. Me, I have carried quite heavy loads (for such light racks) but for no more than 10 or 15 miles 1-way, and generally half that or even less; and all this on paved roads.
Still, I do wonder at the low official Nitto load limits. An ex-frame builder told me he built a minmalist 8 oz chromo rack, chromed, for his wife that was (his statement, and he's not used to making extravagant statements) strong enough to carry him, at 200+. He didn't mention a basket, though.
